Huge boulders stand among the peaks, and since the Ming dynasty more than 400 Buddhist and Taoist figures have been carved into the cliffs and rocks, alongside many inscriptions from successive eras. The Yuchan Mountain cliff carvings are a national key cultural relic protection unit. Ancient trees grow thickly across the hill, and footpaths link the carving sites and temples.
